I don’t mean those who are paid to do so -their motivation is obvious. I mean people who are destructive out of their own motivation and represent untenable points of view. Are they really serious about this?What’s the point?
I mean, it can’t all be the propaganda machine. What would be the point of trying that with Lemmy, who is paid for it? With LLMs, I can still understand that it could be done very economically, but even here there are real people who do it. Why? How did they come up with that? What is the goal? What drives them to do it?
I don’t get that at all.
Distortion and Chaos.
Nothing more and nothing less.
Some social media trolls as we know, are fueling propaganda for a representative state as we’ve seen with Russian trolls before in the past. But a lot of the time, there do exist people who have way too much time on their hands to be going around and just practically shit on everything. It’s for their own amusement, I believe and whatever arbitrary belief system they have with themselves that we don’t know about.
